to receive WIC Overseas benefits. 

Affected Public: Individuals and

Annual Burden Hours: 187.5. 

Number of Respondents: 375. 

Responses per Respondent: 2. 

Average Burden per Response: 15

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

The purpose of the program is to 

provide supplemental foods and 

nutrition education to serve as an 

adjunct to good health care during 

critical times of growth and 

development, in order to prevent the 

occurrence of health problems, 

including drug and other substance 

abuse, and to improved the health status 

of program participants. The benefit is 

similar to the benefit provided under 

the domestic WIC program. 

Respondents are individuals who are 

members of the armed forces on duty at 

stations outside the United States (and 

its territories and possessions) and to 

eligible civilians serving with, 

employed by, or accompanying the 

armed forces at these locations who 

desire to receive supplemental food and 

nutrition education services. To be 

eligible for the DoD special 

supplemental food program, a person 

must be a member of the armed forces 

on duty at stations outside the U.S. (and 

its territories and possessions) or an 

eligible civilian serving with, employed 

by, or accompanying the armed forces 

outside the U.S. (and its territories and 

possessions). Additionally, the person 

must be found to be at nutritional risk. 

Specifically, to be certified as eligible to 

receive benefits under the program, a 

person must: 

• Meet specified program income 

guidelines published by the Secretary of 

Health and Human Services, and 

• Meet one of the criteria listed 

determined to be indicative of 

nutritional risk. 

Determinations of income eligibility 

and nutritional risk will be made to the 

extent practicable using applicable 

standards used by the USDA in 

determining eligibility for the domestic 

Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) 

program. In determining income 

eligibility, the Department will use the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services income poverty table for the 

state of Alaska.
